Seven of State’s points came off of Purdue turnovers. If Purdue eliminates the turnovers then this one is over because they are dominating on the glass and shooting just as good as State is from the field and better from the outside.

I heard an announcer once say, what’s the harm in hacking and raking and playing physical with your opponent, the refs can’t call a foul every time down the court. That’s essentially what UVA does.

UVA calls their defense "pack line". I call it "hack line".

They foul every defensive possession and I’ll stand by that lol.

On the other hand, if State starts rebounding better and shooting better, they will take the lead.

State won’t rebound better because this is what Purdue does. Purdue is tied for first in the NCAA in rebounding margin.

It would be one thing if this was uncharacteristic for Purdue but it’s what they do, they dominate on the glass.

Ok, but what they did in other games is irrelevant at this point.  And they don't have to beat Purdue on the boards, they just have to do better than 20-12.   I am not saying NCSU will win, they probably won't.  But if they shoot better and rebound better, they can take the lead and have a shot at winning.

Purdue has a much better chance of cutting down on turnovers than state does of rebounding better.

[Davidson Deac II]

Diarra had a terrible half of basketball there.  He will need to improve for NCSU to have a shot.

This x1000

Burns has been in foul trouble a couple times in the tourney but this feels like State is just outmatched.

[MillionDollarCam]

Purdue is still turning the ball over but they are locked in on defense.

Burns has been neutered.

[LinvilleGorge]

state has found an answer to Edey. Just have Middlebrooks hack the poo out of him. The refs aren't calling it 

[MillionDollarCam]

UConn has to be loving this.

State can't buy a bucket
